OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

cathyo, where it said city/apo/fpo I entered all the numbers-96643-1661 and where it said zip I just put the last 4 numbers.I hope I did it right.You would think they would explain how to do this!!

mtdiane, I'm still confused as how to fill it out. Below is a picture of the order form. The box that is labeled Zip/APO/FPO is where I tried to type in the 96617-1656 but the space didn't allow that many characters. I don't remember what I put where, but it was obviously all wrong and that's why it took so long. I'd like to be able to use the online ordering again. Curious, how did you fill out? Thanks!!!

cathyo it really is confusing where to put the FPO AP numbers so I hope I did it right

oh noooo Mary (about blue/white card)! And no, I didn't hear anything about a stomach virus. Thanks for the update. Must be difficult to get rid of viruses with such close quarters!
mtdiane - I used the nex online to buy a ship to shore card. Unfortunately, I didn't put the FPO AP numbers in the correct spaces, so it delayed the delivery - alot! I think it took 6 weeks, but it did finally make it to him.

Oh, and have you heard there is a pretty bad stomach virus on the BHR? (mtdiane, anything I have sent online or via my post office has taken anywhere from 10 to 30 days).

Hi everyone! Enjoying all of your posts! great pics and great news! You guys will get a kick out of this one... The entire 7th fleet has done away with the blue card/white card thing... HA HA HA HA. No, I'm sorry, it's not funny. Now if they have liberty they are allowed out overnight anyhow. Jesse is pretty ticked, my husband and I couldn't help but laugh a little, since Jess finally got his blue card last week after about 2 years of being in Japan! hee hee
